I don't mean 11 game conference schedule, I meant 10 conference games, 1 BCS non-conference game, and 1 cupcake.
Still isn't balanced. Playing 10 SEC games is so much different than playing 10 conference games in any other conference. The reality is that the SEC's 3rd place team most years would win any other conference in the nation. Until that gets weighted into the system, it's just unbalanced. This year is a perfect example, if OSU is not on probation we get ND/OSU in the NC game. There are at least 4 SEC teams that would steam roll both of those teams, heck combine the ND and OSU rosters and there are still 3-4 SEC teams that kill them. The reality is that the top two SEC teams should probably get automatic tickets to the playoffs every year. Maybe the top 3 in some years. That's how far ahead the SEC is right now.

The reality is the third place SEC team will never get in to the 4 team playoff. It is a committee with too many other interests at state, to ever allow this. You may think talent wise that 3 teams deserve it, but the system isn't going to allow for that. There is too much money at stake in other places, and more often than not you're only going to get one SEC team. Once you accept that, you realize that the SEC needs to maximize it's revenue outside of trying to get more than one team in the playoff. Does an expanded conference schedule ad more revenue tv wise, or does losing a home game deter that cost. That is the only question. I promise you.
